IF A TORTOISE AND A HARE ARE RUNNING IN A RACE. AND IN MY GRAPH I HAVE DISTANCE IN THE VERTICAL SCALE AND TIME IN THE HORIZONTAL SCALE. THE TORTOISE IS RUNNING AT A CONSTANT RATE WITHOUT STOPPING. BUT THE HARE IS CONFIDENT AND HE STOPS HOPPING AND WAITS FOR THE TORTOISE TO ALMOST CATCH UP AND THEN STARTS HOPPING AGAIN. DURING THE TIME THE HARE HAD STOPPED WHAT IS WOULD THE SLOPE OF HIS LINE BE IN MY GRAPH?

Zero slope at those times. Hare's complete graph would be a series of steps with flat tops and slanted upward-sloping sides.
